Vogue has, for the first time in its history, endorsed a candidate for president, throwing its support behind Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

“Vogue has no history of political endorsements,” read the unsigned endorsement of Clinton, which Vogue published online Tuesday. “Editors in chief have made their opinions known from time to time, but the magazine has never spoken in an election with a single voice. Given the profound stakes of this one, and the history that stands to be made, we feel that should change.”

The magazine cited Clinton’s experience in foreign policy, her tax plan, her support of gun control legislation and her support for LGBTQ rights, immigration reform, women’s rights and health care reform as reasons for endorsing the former secretary of state.

“We understand that Clinton has not always been a perfect candidate, yet her fierce intelligence and considerable experience are reflected in policies and positions that are clear, sound and hopeful,” the endorsement reads.

Vogue has profiled Clinton six times since she appeared on the national stage. The magazine has also featured Donald Trump’s three wives — Ivana Trump, Marla Maples and Melania Trump — along with Trump’s eldest daughter, Ivanka, several times.
